With the prices on 19th century Winchester and Colts hitting the stratosphere..it is becoming acceptable to RESTORE a gun. However down the road and several owners later..that gun might just appear for sale as an original.
Generally it is better to leave em as they are..any refinishing is considered to be verboten.
The only exception to the rule is on British guns...they have a habit of refinishing their guns at the end of every hunting seaon or after a safari to Africa...
